Setup
1. Connect the Power Cable
Place the AVR near the TV and connect the power cable.
Diagram: A TV is shown with an AVR below it. A power cable connects the AVR to a power outlet.
2. Connect the AVR to the TV
Using a high-quality HDMI cable*, connect one end to the HDMI port labeled "ARC" on the TV. Connect the other end to the "HDMI OUT TV (ARC)" port on the AVR.
What is ARC?
Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio back to the AVR using the same HDMI cable that sends video from the AVR to the TV. This allows the AVR to process sound from the TV's built-in tuner and applications.
*For 4K TVs, we recommend using an HDMI cable that includes the "High Speed" and "with Ethernet" designations.
